It was only after the commendation ceremony that Lin learned that three predators had come to his one-third of an acre of land.
Just like the saying in chess, the king cannot see the king. Without prior agreement, it was not easy to bring the three people together to discuss things, so they had to separate.
The queen has a character that is not afraid of heaven or earth, and has corresponding strength. Even if it is a magic tower, as long as it is not a trap to be killed in person, she has the confidence to break out. Therefore, the meeting place with her is set in the house.
In the guest room.
But the other two kings do not have that kind of confidence and strength. Under normal circumstances, they do not enter the territory of an unfamiliar magician. In addition to the area of the magic tower, the private residence of the magician also falls into this category.
─Consideration is the code of conduct for ordinary nobles.
In particular, the academy in front of us is not a space for one magician, but a bunch of them. As a king, the best choice is to keep a respectful distance. Therefore, the agreed meeting place is in the courtyard within the academy.
The two parties each set up a large marching tent and raised the king's flag.
Considering that the weather is cold, although there is no snow, everyone will exhale white smoke. Therefore, the big tent is surrounded by various rare animal skins, and a fire is lit inside. Once inside,
You can feel the warmth without any chill.
The second king they met was Gruber I of the Kingdom of Reunion.
As for how the order is arranged, it can only be decided based on the closeness of a certain magician. He first knew a certain queen; and then although the place where he lives now is the territory of the magician, it is still within the territory of the Kingdom of Reunion.
; Finally, there is the Kingdom of Zlin, which has no direct relationship.
Of course, this order has been agreed upon by all parties. When you reach that status, you have to worry about trivial matters. A certain magician’s attitude is also simple. I have informed all parties of my reasons for arranging this order. I agree.
Come on, I don't agree to be pulled down. The first two people don't care, but the third kingdom messenger has a lot of complaints. Lin just ignores him.
Gruber I was a paunchy, pampered fat man. He had a fairly friendly smile and did not look annoying. He was quite similar to Eli Huber, whom he had been with for more than a year, except for the fact that one of his heads was wearing a melon.
The crown, one is wearing a magician's small cape.
Under the roll call of the guards guarding the door, Lin walked into the big tent. Gruber I stepped forward with his hands spread out like a giant bear. "Welcome, welcome, Lord Tripwood. I am
I have admired your talent for a long time, and today I can finally see you in person. I am really happy." After saying that, he gave someone a bear hug that almost broke someone's spine.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my waist is so flattered that it is almost broken, almost broken!"
After letting go of his arms, Gruber I chuckled and said, "Sorry, I was so happy that I lost my composure. Come on, please sit down, please sit down."
When he was hooped just now, Lin thought that his journey through the mysterious land was about to end. Now that his hand was grabbed and he was walking towards the center of the tent, the huge force was hard to resist. Unless he blessed himself with the power of giant force, he would not be able to resist it.
It is possible to compete, but it is too late now. From these points, we can know that this fat king is not as kind as he seems to be deceived, and he still has real skills in his hands.
After being dragged to a seat and sitting down, Lin finally had some free time. In response to his unwarranted enthusiasm, he asked lukewarmly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what I have done to deserve your love. Isn't this too much?" How much?"
"No, no, not more than that at all." Gruber I personally poured a glass of wine, handed it over, and said: "With the convenience of the neighboring Five City, the kingdom has been at the forefront of many countries in the changes in the past few years. I am at the forefront and have made a lot of money. All of this is thanks to the opportunity you brought me."
It was rare that someone finally acknowledged his importance in this series of changes in the times, but it seemed that the king was not here to hand out red envelopes. Lin was thinking this in his heart, but asked another question:
"Being able to make money is your Majesty's ability and has nothing to do with me. As far as I know, there are many people who have lost a lot of debt and even lost the lives of their whole family. So Your Majesty stopped by to see me, a mountain villager. It’s not just for a few words of verbal thanks.”
"Of course, there is indeed something that requires your help." As he said this, the fat king snapped his fingers, and several palace magicians walked in outside the big tent. There were old and young, and the one thing they had in common was the small sapphire blue shawl. , and the very conspicuous coat of arms on the back, which represents the Kingdom of Reunion. "I hope these people can join your college for a period of time and learn the educational methods and concepts of the college."
"Can."
Seeing Lin's straightforward agreement, Gruber I showed a surprised expression other than a smile for the first time and asked: "Your Majesty, have you really agreed?"
Counting the heads of the people who came in, there were four people in total, one old and three young. Lin stretched out four fingers and said: "One person is worth m kiel (1000 gold) per year, and four people per year are mmmm kiel's tuition." .I promise not to hide my secrets in the affairs of the college and answer all questions, but they must listen to my instructions. After all, they are here to learn, not to interfere with management. Relevant lesson plans will also be provided, but the content of the teaching must be It’s up to you.”
"One person per year, one Kiel!" Gruber I was also shocked by this sudden quotation.
But this time it was Lin who showed a bright smile and said: "Rather than collecting sporadic information on the forum, I think someone can learn by doing, learn by doing, and can ask me at any time. I believe that such tuition is It’s great value for money. These things are actually not difficult, and it may take less than a year to master them. But let’s make it clear first that if they feel they have learned everything, there is no problem if they want to leave early, but I will not refund it. tuition fee."
Concerning these somewhat demanding terms, Gruber I gave a rare wry smile. "This is true."
Without waiting for the other party to bargain, Lin stretched out his hand and said: "I believe that any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The classic sayings from the earth were like a shot in the arm, which allowed Gruber I to break away from his worries and return to his original smile. He took Lin's outstretched hand, and his strong hand showed full of enthusiasm. Confidently, he said: "Yes, problems that can be solved with money are not problems."
In this way, another conversation with a king ended. And it also made the other party feel that it was worth the money. Is it because they are too stupid, or has their deception skills increased again? I am confused.
Arriving at another large tent in the courtyard, this is the tent of Steiner III of the Kingdom of Zlin. Not only is the ostentation larger than that of the other two kings, but all aspects are also more exquisite, in order to show the heritage of a long-established power.
But for some people, these are just boring. Is there any country that pays more attention to etiquette than the place where I grew up? It even claims to be a country of etiquette and always likes to brag that the most beautiful scenery is ghosts.
Words. In fact, everyone knows that if it is not a gift from the heart, it is just a poor performance. This is how someone feels.
Finally, after repeated notifications and summonses, Lin entered the large tent ten steps away. The light inside the tent was dim, far inferior to that of the Kingdom of Reunion. The curtains on all sides were tightly covered, and no trace could be seen through.
There was a cold breeze. There was incense burning inside, but it felt like it was just to cover up the decaying smell. It seemed that both the big tent and the decorations inside had a certain age.
Steiner III sat firmly on the throne in the center. In his prime, he had a bear-like physique and a sense of oppression. The golden-armored guards on both sides looked gleaming even in the flickering candlelight.
Lin stepped forward. Because he didn't know where to stop, he simply stood far away, bowed and said in greeting: "Your Majesty."
The bear-like man on the throne did not hide his expression at all, frowning and said: "Sir Tripwood, you can take a few steps closer." While saying this, he waved with his hand.
This reminded someone of the way he barked dogs and cats when he was on Earth. Although he was a little dissatisfied, Lin still took a few steps and didn't plan to move again. He didn't want to have such an atmosphere like a banquet at Hongmen.
Too deep, too far from the exit.
Not sure whether he gave up or didn't want to say the same thing a second time, Steiner III said in his strong voice: "Your Excellency, I am here to provide you with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the most powerful country in the Southwest Peninsula.
The royal family, serving the king. How about it, do you feel it is an incomparable honor? Becoming the royal magician of Zlin is not an opportunity that everyone can encounter."
Is this... a request for direct incorporation too much? Looking at the king, playing with the wine glass in his hand, and the golden-armored guards on both sides who were vaguely surrounding him, this is quite like "throwing a cup as a signal, left and right"
A gameplay like "ambushing five hundred swordsmen".
This... seems bad.
After thinking about it, I don’t seem to have brought all the magic tools I need to save my life with me. So there don’t seem to be many that can be used now. But I still have to say what I need to say, whether it’s rejection or agreement.”
Thank you for your majesty's kindness, but I still have responsibilities here at the college, and it is not convenient for me to follow your majesty."
With a wave of his hand, Steiner III said: "There will be any important responsibilities here, just leave them to others to deal with the aftermath. You just need to follow me back home." At the same time, the guards on both sides took a step forward and pressed the hilts of their swords.
Is this going to turn against you?
It was too late, but soon, Lin put his hands into his sleeves, and was about to cast some escape spells such as lightening himself. However, he found that after putting his hands into his sleeves, he could not move. Moreover, his whole body was still covered.
He couldn't move, he couldn't even turn his eyes, only his thoughts were still racing.
When did he get hit? It was such a high-level spell, silent and unknowing.
Memories began to flash before my eyes like a revolving lantern, maybe this second life really ends today. Thinking of the shortcomings that I have not yet completed, I... well, it seems that everyone is the same? They all froze?
